Luis Jose Almanzar is a 2016 SS with a 6-0 155 lb. frame from Haina, DOM who attends Mary Cristy. Medium frame, lean build with projectable strength. High level defensive shortstop, very quick hands, smooth actions, good body control with long strides, loose arm action with good projection of arm strength, accurate throws. Infield throwing velocity doesn't do arm strength justice, was playing under control with game actions during infield workout rather than throwing for radar gun.
